Further up Exit 18 and Parkway 160's to be exact...Hey, your from Jersey. what exit? I was born and raised in Essex County, Verona, the land of Tony Soprano. Speaking of which go on line and watch past episodes. You'll get your NJ fix. Bad-a-Bing.

suarezn...Yes I know how you all feel...I miss The DR almost every week. Right now sitting in the cold of Michigan I would love to be in hot weather with a nice cold Presidente at hand.
I can understand you missing friends, Korean food, etc...but the "fresh air" of NJ? Huh. I think The DR has plenty of that...or did you mean cooler air?
Watching my son with triple coat on rolling around that white stuff and making snow man that you can never do here...
suarezn...
Just like Japanese, we Koreans also don't wear shoes inside our houses. If I wear white the bottom turns brown with in half day and it rarely do in NJ. With all the unpaved roads and miles and miles of empty lands in Santiago. Cleaner air???... I vote YES for NJ...

Driving through the roads of Santiago, Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete the air is disgusting! I've never seen such pollution!
Our lungs will be black from all the Fumes! I took for granted clean air, I miss it too!! Thank god we live on the beach at least we have clean air when we are at home as long as the dude next door isn't burning garbage.....
Some how people think NJ is as bad as NYC but in reality is if you drive like 15 minutes on highway, away from the 5 Borough, it's whole different world, air definitely have that crisp feeling through your nose. And in Santiago I wash my car more often then in NJ so I would say that at least my Santiago port of town is dustier then other parts of the country except Moca (I believe they are worse then Santiago)I get what you mean if you're on the road driving, even though I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the worst I've seen. Normally cars have a button called Air Recirculation that would prevent you from smelling other people's fumes.

Your melancholy may well have been aggravated by the horrible effects wrought by Hurricane Sandy. It is never easy to be far away when the people, with whom we feel a kinship, are suffering. Even if no one you know personally has been directly affected, those that have are "N.J. people", so by extension your people.
Forget the fast food joints....Get together with some people you really care for and go out for a darn good meal. Damn the expense.
And remember,
This too shall pass.
LOL Koreano.....it's all relative I think. NYers hate NJ drivers. Southern NJ drivers hate Pennsylvania drivers. I think we're all just territorial.
But we ALL hate Dominican drivers.
Yeah because she never left the airport.That's ok. Most people hate New Yorkers, and just feel kinda sorry for folks from New Joyzee.... lol :glasses:
I have a friend who just visited NYC over the summer. I asked, "what was your favorite part?" She said, "The airport."
Surprisingly I do miss snow!!!
YES!!!
I DO MISS SNOW but I don't miss shoveling it.
Watching my son with triple coat on rolling around that white stuff and making snow man that you can never do here...
And shoveling....
Yeah because she never left the airport.
In my opinion the folk who are relatively young (under 70's) who likes to travel and hates NYC, belongs in mental institution.
What is there to hate? The city has is a point of interest every step you take, many interesting people walking around and delicious food every corner.
I think you have to be from NYC to appreciate it.Oh, VISITING NYC is fine. You realize that, no matter what, there's always going to be a point when you leave.
And, LIVING in NYC with "Sex in the City" money is a magical, wonderful experience. Living without money is worse than what you see in a bad rap video. Overpriced everything, crowds, dirt, trash, nasty attitudes, guys in puff coats doing the stereotypical NYer thing (don't even act like you don't know what I mean). Ugh.
I've been to Port-au-Prince after the earthquake, and seen more cheer there than anywhere in Southside Jamaica.
Here's a hint: if you live in a city that is truly amazing, people from other places should be constantly telling you how great it is, not the other way around.
